Do pupils get pupil premium in reception/year1 or at an age - 4, 5 ??

Thanks

just wanted to know!

Pupil premium is awarded to the school for every child who applies and is eligible. It starts at reception and regardless of a change in circumstance the school continues to receive this money for the next 6 years.

It is up to the school how the money is spent however this must be published on the school website.

Hope this helps!

Sorry meant to say as for age we ask for parents to pally when the children first start in Reception.

Go too www.first4adoption.org.uk will be able too see criteria.
Will apply once awarded too year 11 can transfer too senior school also with balance not used.
Have too apply too school on personal basis with copy of court adoption order, they will then apply too the LA.
but black out any personal details that may be on the order, just need the date and name.

Just realised its not available in Scotland

" It starts at reception and regardless of a change in circumstance the school continues to receive this money for the next 6 years. "

This is true of the generic Pupil Premium Grant (PPG), but for children adopted from care after 2005, they will receive Pupil Premium Plus (PPP) from reception until the end of Y11, regardless of any change in circumstance. The school will only receive the money whilst the child is on roll.

"It is up to the school how the money is spent however this must be published on the school website."

Again, this is true for the PPG, but the PPP MUST be spent to raise the attainment of the individual child. Whilst it is not technically ringfenced, schools will have to prove to Ofsted how they have used the money to raise the attainment of individual children. They should agree how to spend it with parents.

The Sutton Trust/EEF toolkit is a great resource to reference when deciding how to spend the PPP.

The school apply for the money via the school census, so there is a cut off date by which you should notify them of your child's status. Check with the school for timings.

Thanks so much.
